Special way to display file grouping

[horst.epp]

The following request is from the Total commander forum.
I have no idea if such a sort can currently be created by Everything
without relying on external scripts.

The request:
-Files that are newer than X days (for example, modified in the last 3 days) should always appear at the top of the file list.
-After those, all remaining files should follow the normal sorting order currently selected (by name, extension, size, date, etc.).

[NotNull]

For example:

Code: Select all

<<dm:<=3days A:=dm:>|>  sort:A-descending;path

Items changed in the last 3 days will be sorted by (descending) date. All others items come next and will be sorted by path.

dm:<=3days A:=dm:

==> for all items with a date modified that has changed in the last 3 days, make A equal to its date-modified value.
Note the OR ("

|

") without any further specification. This adds all other items while leaving their A value empty.

sort:A-descending;path

==>
Primary sort = value for A (= date modified for the newest items; empty for the others). Newest first.
Secondary sort = by path.

Thanks, that works.
I made a suggestion based on your code in the TC forum and a link to this post.
